UK accused of using IS executions to 'fan flames of war'

A British journalist held captive by Islamic State (IS) militants has appeared in another propaganda video - the third in a series called Lend Me Your Ear.

Dressed in an orange jumpsuit, he addresses the camera directly, beginning: "Hello again. I'm John Cantlie, the British citizen abandoned by my government and a prisoner of the Islamic State for nearly two years."

In the video, he accuses the British government of using the deaths of British citizens at the hands of IS to "fan the flames of this war".

The six-and-a-half-minute speech ends: "Join me again for the next programme."
